Road Safety - Slow Down



Following calls from local residents the Communities First Partnership have been working with the road safety department, highways department and local police to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding. Leaflets warning of the dangers has been circulated to all households in the borough, improved signage and increased traffic surveys have been carried out in the area.

Please slow down when driving through the community. Remember,

Hit by a vehicle at 40mph, 9 out of 10 pedstrians are killed.

Hit by a vehicle at 30mph, 5 out of 10 pedestrians are killed

Hit by a vehicle at 20mph, 1 pedestrain is killed but 9 survive

Please help us to keep our roads safe by keeping your speed down. Please help us to make Vaynor a safer place for pedestrians and for our children.
